. Training must comply with OSHA standards and, at a minimum, focus
on the following:
• How the hazard communication program is implemented on site, how
to read and interpret information on labels and an MSDS, and how
employees can obtain and use the available hazard information
• Hazards of the materials in the workplace
• Measures employees can take to protect themselves from hazards
• Specific procedures put into effect by the contractor to provide
protection, such as work practices and using personal protective
equipment
• Methods and observations, such as appearance or smell, workers can
use to detect the presence of a hazardous material to which they may
be exposed

that contractors may encounter in FedEx facilities.

State’s hazard communication program are encouraged to contact the

known or suspected to be associated with hazardous material use or
potential exposure while on FedEx premises.

disposal, in accordance with applicable laws, of chemicals or hazardous
materials used in the performance of their work.
g. Contractors must have available for FedEx a list of chemicals or
materials used in the performance of their work and a copy of the

storage, and disposal of hazardous materials.

persons performing work to use an approved substitute chemical or
material in the place of a chemical or material that FedEx requests not
